Other than Kamboj, the two others to have achieved the feat of taking all ten wickets in an innings in Ranji Trophy are Bengal’s Premangsu Chatterjee in 1956-57, and Rajasthan’s Pradeep Sunderam in 1985-86. Overall, Kamboj is just the sixth Indian to achieve this feat in first-class cricket; the others are the legspin-bowling pair of Subhash Gupte and Anil Kumble (in a Test vs Pakistan, in Delhi, in 1999), and Odisha seamer Debasis Mohanty. Kumble is also one of only three bowlers in international cricket to have taken a ten-for in the same innings, getting it either side of England’s Jim Laker and New Zealand’s Ajaz Patel.
